happy birthday nana
i loved your messy bedroom
dressing up in your fox fur and hats
rummaging in the strange world
of your dressing table drawers
a treasure trove of
potions and scent bottles
crawling in between you and grandpa
under the big pink satin duvet
was the safest feeling
i have ever known
your name was not charity
but you personified it
through every pore of your being
i miss you
i still think of you
i thank you
i love you

A beautiful dedication :)
ReplyDeleteSo very loving, and appreciating the one's we love.
ReplyDeleteGrandparents should be cherished...too.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful and evocative write 💞
ReplyDeletethe smallest of moments ... the sneaking under the covers, to wedge, most likely in giggles and smiles, to finger-drift search for the treasures, on display, tucked and nooked away - how lovely this sad and wistful walk down memory lane ...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely poem and tribute. So full of love.
ReplyDeleteI so relate to this. I was safest with my grandma too and owe her my life, really. She was so generous, too. If anyone admired anything of hers - and she lived very modestly - she would immediately give it to them.
ReplyDeleteGrandma's houses have that special sort of magic that linger in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteThis touches so deeply.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have had a beloved grandmother as charity personified! I wish charity always felt like such love. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and loving tribute to your grandparents.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful memories...
ReplyDeleteGrandmothers are so special!!! They should all have pink duvets.
